Russian and Chinese warships chase US
fleet approaching North Korea RUSSIA and china have reportedly sent ships
to shadow a US fleet sent to threaten North Korea. Donald Trump sent an armada of warships
including nuclear aircraft carrier USS. Carl Vinson to warn Kim Jong-un against
testing a nuclear weapon or intercontinental ballistic missile. The fleet which also includes nuclear
submarines is approaching the Korean peninsula.
Russia and China have sent spy vessels to
follow the strike group, military officials have said. China, in particular, is concerned about the
US military build-up in its back yard. It claims the THAAD missile defence system
America has offered to protect ally South Korea from attack from its trigger happy neighbour
is really meant to spy on Beijing. Russia and Chinas intelligence-gathering
vessels will follow and watch the US navy group closely.
Citing multiple sources in the government,
Japans largest newspaper said the ships are strengthening warning and surveillance
activities in the waters and airspace around the area. China which backed North Korea in the
Korean War has warned World War 3 could break out at any time unless Trump and Crazy
Kim cool it. Trump appeared to be backing away from a pre-emptive
strike on the Hermit Kingdom. But the unpredictable president told his North
Korean counterpart he has gotta behave" yesterday.
North Korea's deputy representative to the
UN, Kim In Ryong, accused Washington of creating "a situation where nuclear war could break
out an any time" and said Pyongyang's next nuclear test would take place "at a time and
at a place where our headquarters deems necessary." North Korea's vice foreign minister Han Song-Ryol
said missiles would continue to be tested on "a weekly, monthly and yearly basis." Kim Song Gyong, director general of the European
Department of North Korea's Foreign Ministry, said the communist regime would strike first
and "destroy the aggressors without any mercy if Washington made "the slightest movement"
to make a nuclear strike. He went on to clarify that the approach of
the US naval strike force would not be considered enough to constitute "the slightest movement". Trumps number two, Mike Pence warned Kim
not to test the new US presidents resolve pointing to Americas devastating strikes
on Syrian and Afghanistan over the past few days. And he confirmed the White House was still
considering military action, saying: All options are on the table.
He said: "North Korea would do well not to
test his resolve or the strength of the armed forces of the United States in this region..
